Halving Melendez in there would just make more of a line. They will wait till the spring, and Edgar has defended again and a few other contenders have been cleared out by other fighters.

How about a reality show to see who comes to the UFC once they fold SF?HAHA

2 wild card entrants in the second round from each weight class. Wow, that would so never happen.

I’d love to see that or maybe something like the season of TUF: The Comeback except the fighters aren’t making comebacks. It’d get the guys some name recognition amongst the casual fans and it’d provide some awesome fights. But if they do go that route, I’d be a fan of not having them stuck in the house. I could care less about the bs antics that happen in the house, I just want to watch some fights.

Your entitled to your opinion… BUT I call B.S. on that.

“Until he meets Cerrone again, 3rd times a charm ”

I def. would like to see that trilogy… the 2nd fight wasn’t as great as the first but either way those two guys come to fight.

And that’s why he’s gonna lose his belt on the 17th. People need to keep their mouths shut about who’s making wave in the LW division.

Mon, 28 Nov 2011 01:06:42 +0000http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=50938#comment-194801This is all irrelevant anyway… Because bendo is going to be champ and defend that title for a while so 155 will still be flooded with talent but they will all be fighting to be the #2 cause Henderson is gonna have it on lock for a while
